Oops Casserole
So last Thursday was a snow day for many, including The Wife, though not myself. I once again got to work from home. In an effort to stave off boredom, Herself embarked on the making of batch of potato soup, using the whole 5# bag of potatoes and cavalierly commandeering the stockpot in the process.…

Bring Back the Robotech Novels!
The originator of the petition to re-release the original, unmodified Robotech novels is going to wrap up the petition and take it to Crunchyroll, the current license manager, to see what happens. The petition will remain open, but it would be really nice to break 1000 signatures before that happens. As of press time, the…

Whatever CHICKEN Soup
Gather around for installment in my never-ending quest to clear my freezer of leftovers! The previous batch of soup is gone, Spring is within spitting distance, and I’m getting that itch again. Work From Home means I have time, but not the attention for cooking. So the crockpot is once again up to bat. Morning…

#CharacterCreationChallenge 2023 Post-mortem
Post-mortem: as defined by the Society for Creative Anachronism, a post-mortem is held after an SCA event to see what happened, what went right, and what went wrong. The military calls it an after-action report. This year’s goal was a different character RPG each day. Mission accomplished! I had to prewrite a lot of the…

#CharacterCreationChallenge – Day 31 – D&D 3E (WotC)
And so I end with a whimper, and not the bang I had been hoping for. This week can die in a fire. No. I refuse to go down that easy. So…the closest to a bang I can conjure on short notice is Scorch Talon. Scorch is a half-elf I created back in the day…

#CharacterCreationChallenge – Day 30 – D&D 3E (WotC)
Well, this month ended in fire, not the triumphant crescendo I had hoped for. So I am going to tap my well of eTools 3E characters so I have something to finish with. This version of Orrin may be the first 3E character I ever played. A CG half-orc cleric of Kord for The World’s…

#CharacterCreationChallenge – Day 29 – D&D 3E (WotC)
Today fell apart. So I’m falling back on the vast library of 3E characters I created when I was futzing around with the eTools 3E D&D program. Talk about a trip down memory lane! Sometimes you just want just have to use a really big blunt object to get the Justice across. Orrin – Half-orc…

#CharacterCreationChallenge – Day 28 – AD&D 2E (TSR)
Following up yesterday’s post, the other task requested of me was to create a 7th-level NPC to serve as a guide for our time-traveling party of PCs. Since I didn’t know what that tricksie DM was up to, I wanted someone who could hold his own in a fight, while being well-enough rounded enough to…

#CharacterCreationChallenge – Day 27 – AD&D 2E (TSR)
Anyone who follows my social medial knows how much I love the Al-Qadim setting for AD&D 2E. I’ve been running a campaign off-and-on now for over 20 years for the Friday Night Gaming group. Occasionally, one of the other players will DM Al-Awadim for a bit, and I get to *play* Al-Qadim for awhile. Awhile…

#CharacterCreationChallenge – Day 26 – D&D 5E (WotC)
This day on my hiatus brings us to a character I created for a mid-level one-shot that never materialized. I was interested in trying a ranged character, which is still not something I’ve focused on in 5E. Child of a wandering divine soul serving St. Cuthbert and a orc barbarian mercenary protecting the region, Holg…
